Objectives and activities

Paul's Place objects, as set out in the Articles of Association are:

"To provide education, life-skills, sports, social, recreational activities plus accommodation, together with practical support and advice for physically, sensory, and cognitively disabled adults, and their carers in South Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties."

To meet these objects Paul's Place provides a range of support services that benefit physically disabled adults and those with cognitive and sensory impairment. Our main service Paul's Place Daily is the provision of day care that helps support local government in the provision of day care which is a statutory duty. This day care is funded by local authority or health contracts or spot purchase, direct payments or those individually funding.

Our projects and services which include:

Paul's Place Daily - runs Monday to Friday (10am-4pm) throughout the year. Based in Coalpit Health South Gloucestershire, we provide a programme of daily activities that support adults with physical, cognitive, and sensory impairments.

Paul's Place Social - is our popular evening programme. Throughout the year monthly nights out, including trips to the pub, restaurants, cinema, theatre, and bowling to name a few.

Paul's Place Short Breaks -We offer people the opportunity for a short break holiday throughout the year in April and September.

Paul's Place Carers - offers carers the space to make connections with others, get support, as well as some 'time out' from caring responsibilities. We offer carers a range of activities throughout the year, including days out and an annual short break.

Our vision

Our vision is a world that embraces disability and includes everyone, ensuring that all people can live their life to the full. We achieve this vision by making it our mission to enhance the lives of physically disabled adults, and those with cognitive and sensory impairment, supporting them to live life to the full. We do this through projects and activities that: o provide social activities that connect people, build friendships, and reduce loneliness and isolation. o encourage people to develop new skills and achieve independence. o develop opportunities for people to improve their health and wellbeing.

Our values are important to us, and we ask everyone at Paul's Place to 'live out' these values:

Inclusive - we are inclusive and include everyone recognising that no two people are the same. We celebrate and promote the diversity of everyone.

Encouraging - we are encouraging and promote new opportunities and experiences that take people out of their comfort zone. Empowering - we are empowering and believe that everyone has the right to 'choice and control' when it comes to their own lives.

Caring - we are caring in everything that we do and ensure that everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Friendly - we are friendly with everyone and strive to ensure that there is an element of fun in all that we do.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

Over the last twelve months Paul's Place has continued to consolidate our services following the end of the pandemic and as an organisation we returned to normal service delivery. We have had some major changes in our senior management team with Daniel Cheeseman our CEO, leaving us in August 2022 for a position with another Charity. Sarah Payne took up the position of interim CEO until the appointment of Lynda Williams who joined us in January 2023. As a board of Trustees, we have tasked Lynda with finding new premises for Paul's Place and we will be submitting a business case and offer for the Shire Way Community Centre.

Our Short Break holidays resumed, and we took members away in April to Looe in Cornwall and September to Holmore in Somerset and for the first time managed to keep our day facility open for those who didn't go on holiday.

We also continued to offer a series of day trips throughout the year which as always proved popular. They included trips to Gloucester Garden center, Willow Trust boats, Bristol cricket club, Six nations rugby, M-shed, Swindon railway Museum and Noah's Ark amongst many others.

The Boccia team played three teams of three in the Super League with 36 games played across the year. We also had 4 members who took part in the Heathcoat singles league with two of those members qualifying for the final resulting in one member taking second place and one member finishing in third place. A great year for Boccia.

The Paul's Place social programme continues to attract between ten and fifteen members per evening with Bowling being especially popular.

We have continued our partnership with Yate Athletics Club, and we have provided inclusive athletic sessions throughout the year and seen many of our members benefit from this. The funding from We-Sport meant we continued delivering sessions for members, improving their fitness and skill.

Along with this we have introduced Chair Pilates, which takes place once a week in the Day facility and helps to improve mobility and fitness.

Our carers project 'There to Care' our carers meet once face to face and we provided a number of carers days out over the summer months, these included a trips to out to lunch, garden centers and the Swindon shopping outlet and a boat trip. and a carers short break to Homelacey Warners Resort which was enjoyed by 8 carers. It is likely that this service currently funded by South Gloucestershire Council will cease in April 2024 due to pressure on funding.

Paul's Place (South West)

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Achievements and performance (continued)

Our fundraising Manager resigned which meant our Communication and Fundraising officer along with an external consultant whose focus had been on small grants suddenly found themselves managing our events programme along with the day-to-day fundraising activities. Even throughout this we still managed to raise £27,879 in grants and £19,321 in community fundraising, including £12,388 raised at fundraising events, remaining raised in clothing banks, collections tins, shopping donations and by community groups’. The next year will see us recruit a new fundraising Manager and a trusts and foundations officer to be based centrally.

We continue to work on increasing our fundraising income by hosting events and encouraging others to raise funds on our behalf. We hosted several community fundraising events, one being our Christmas fayre which was organised by two of our staff who gave their time free to make the event a great success, raising more than £1500. Another event was our Mediumship night with Bernie Scott which again raised over £1000. Overall, our community fundraising totaled £19321 across the year which showed a slight increase on last year.

We held Paul's Place Grand Ball, and this was supported by our Patron Briony May-Williams and hosted by Paris Troy who compared the night and helped run the charity auction. We raised a total of £3800 which was an achievement taking into consideration the staff changes in place at the time.

Our Corporate Fundraising received an income of £2650 however, this doesn't reflect the time local and national companies gave in volunteering hours. They supported a number of our projects updating our gardens and painting out buildings and fences. ALD Automotive also gave us both donations to purchase garden equipment and free us of their adapted minibus. Companies who supported us in the last year were ALD Automotive, Brighter Places, Motability Operations, CRL, Womble Bond Dickinson, Sheridan Maine and Matthew Oliver recruitment, who we are extremely grateful to for all their support.

We once again benefitted from legacy funds, received through Paul’s Place, to the value of £40,680.

Financial review

The end of the year financial position resulted in a surplus. There were a number of areas contributing to this including vacancies across the organisation and the time it takes to recruit. Charitable activities have returned to pre pandemic levels, which has increased funding in this area. A full cost analysis review was carried out for the day facility and new increased day rates were agreed which also contributed to the increase.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) shows the gross income from all sources and the split of activity between restricted and unrestricted funds.

Reserves Policy

Paul's Place (Southwest) unrestricted reserves represent the funds that are freely available to spend, arising from past operating results, legacies and donations.

Restricted funds fall outside the definition of reserves as these are funds that are given to Paul's Place (Southwest) for a specific purpose and as such are not to be used freely.

Paul's Place (South West) will invest its reserves appropriately in order to maintain current or future levels of income and protection of capital. The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately four months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The Trustees consider that this level will provide enough funds to respond to applications for grants and other income and to ensure that support and governance costs are covered.

Paul's Place (South West)

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Reserves Policy (continued)

At the year end the charity held reserves amounting to £1,887,336 (2022 - £1,881,835) of which £76,400 (2022 - £99,996) were restricted and £1,810,936 (2022 - £1,781,839) were unrestricted.

£900,000 of unrestricted funds has been designated to meet the cost of securing the lease on the Shire Way Community Centre together with the costs of the proposed refurbishment work.

In addition a capital assets fund of £543,922 has been designated, representing the net book value of the charity’s fixed assets. These reserves are only available for use when assets are sold.

The remaining unrestricted funds of £367,014 are freely available and reflect the trustees’ policy to hold sufficient free reserves to cover at least four months running costs.

The Reserves policy is reviewed in line with other policies by the Board of Trustees.

Investment Policy

All funds surplus to short-term working capital needs are placed on deposit with the Charity's bankers. In so far as the trustees are aware: " There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware; and" The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

Going Concern

The trustees are assured (have a reasonable expectation) that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in our policies.

Plans for future periods

We have a very exciting year ahead having been the successful bidder for the Shire Way Community Centre. We will be negotiating on the lease for the new premises and the exit from our current lease. Shire Way requires a huge refurbishment which will take place across the year. The designated funds set aside will be used to carry out the refurbishment work and secure the lease. Our fundraising Manager will be looking to access corporate and grant funding to both match and contribute to our designated funds.

In preparing this report the Trustees have taken advantage of the small companies' exemption provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees' annual report and the strategic report were approved on 24 August 2023 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Paul's Place (South West)

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Paul's Place (South West) ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2023

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Serridge Lane, Coalpit Heath, Bristol, BS36 2TT.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity, and the figures are rounded to the nearest £1.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Paul's Place (South West)

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources (continued)

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performancerelated conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors with no stated interest rate and due within one year are recorded at the amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Prepayments are valued at the amount paid.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Paul's Place (South West)

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 2% straight line
Long leasehold property - 2% straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line
Motor vehicles - 20% straight line

Investments

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss.

Reclassification of cash held as part of the portfolio

Cash held as part of a fixed asset investment portfolio should be presented as part of the fixed asset investments.

In the prior year such cash holdings amounting to £58,070 were classified as current assets. The comparative figures have been restated and the cash holding included in fixed asset investments.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

4. Limited by guarantee

The company is a company limited by guarantee and the members of the company are the Trustees. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £7.50 per member of the company.
